The new-gen i20 will be offered with 3 engine options – 1.2L petrol, 1.0L turbo-petrol, and 1.5L diesel.Since these engine options are identical to those offered on the Venue, they are likely to be offered in the same state of tune as well. The 1.2L 4-cylinder Kappa unit will be borrowed from the outgoing model and will produce peak power and torque outputs of 83 PS and 113 Nm, respectively. And, it will be offered with a 5-speed MT only.
